China, the biggest market in the electric car world, also has the most companies in this field. Electric House, which produces mini electric vehicles, unveiled its second model. The mini EV, called Yue 01, attracts attention with its affordable price and range.
What does the $8300 Yue 01 offer?
Yue 01 will be available with two battery packs and six variants starting from 8 thousand 300 dollars to 11 thousand dollars. This price positioning shows that it is one of the most affordable electric vehicles in the world. So what are the features of Yue 01?
The Yue 01 is available with a 24 kWh battery providing a range of 251 km and a 32.56 kWh battery providing a range of 335 km. A third option with an even higher range of 408 km will be released soon.
The electric motor placed at the front of the vehicle produces 35 kW of power and 125 Nm of torque. This means that the vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Measuring only 3,750 mm in length, the mini EV stands out for being smaller than its competitors.
The dual-color interior features a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7-inch digital instrument panel. It should be noted that the higher-end variants have additional advanced driver assistance systems and connectivity features.
Electric House was founded in 2021 by Xinte Automobile, which withdrew from the market during the pandemic. The company is partnering with Sinotruck, which is affiliated with the Chinese government, for 01 production. This allows it to offer both affordable and technological vehicles.
